ESPN: North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams checked
out of the hospital Thursday afternoon, just a day after undergoing a 3½-hour
surgery to remove a tumor from his right kidney, the school announced.

It could take up to a week to determine whether the tumor
was benign or malignant -- and that could impact whether the 62-year-old Hall
of Fame coach will need surgery next month to remove another tumor, this time
from his left kidney.

But his doctor said in a statement Wednesday that Williams
is expected to be back on the court when UNC opens basketball practice next
month, and that he fully expects Williams "to coach this season and for
years to come."

If Williams needs a second surgery, he could miss some
practice time, but likely not any games.

Williams found out about the tumors after a physical earlier
this month. But assistant coach Steve Robinson said Wednesday that Williams
"felt a little uncomfortable over the last couple of weeks and felt like
something wasn't quite right."

WHERE IN THE WORLD...?

The way it is...

The way it was...

TAH DAMN GOOD CAUSE OF THE MONTH

NORTHERN HAITI HOPE FOUNDATION: After our recent trip to Haiti, we vowed to do more to help. Clean water is a critical issue for all Haitians. It's particularly problematic for those in rural areas. For $2,000 to $5,000 we can build a new well in a rural village as part of a program facilitated by the St. Barthelemy School and the Warrenton, VA Rotary.
